The lighting is controlled directly by the driver  
by means of the ring A and the stalk B.  
Lighting of the corresponding indicator lamp on  
the instrument panel confirms the switching on  
of the lighting selected.  
The instrument panel has permanent back-  
lighting. Illumination of the instrument panel is  
therefore not linked to the exterior lighting.

to position the symbol required facing the

Lighting on audible warning  
When the ignition is switched off, all  
of the lamps switch off automatically,  
unless guide-me-home lighting is  
activated.  
If the lighting is switched on manually  
after switching off the ignition, there  
is an audible signal when a front door  
is opened to warn the driver that  
they have forgotten to switch off the  
vehicle's lighting, with the ignition off.  
When the lighting is switched off automatically  
(with AUTO model) or when the dipped  
headlamps are switched off manually, the  
foglamps and sidelamps will remain on.

Turn the ring rearwards to switch off the  
foglamps, the sidelamps will then switch off.
